Safety and Regulatory Information
Important Precautions and Safety Information
When using this machine, these basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to people:
1 Read and understand all instructions.
2 Use common sense whenever operating electrical appliances.
3 Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the machine and in the
literature accompanying the machine.
4 If an operating instruction appears to conflict with safety information,
heed the safety information. You may have misunderstood the
operating instruction. If you cannot resolve the conflict, contact your
sales or service representative for assistance.
5 Unplug the machine from the AC wall socket before cleaning. Do not
use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning.
6 Do not place the machine on an unstable cart, stand or table. It may fall,
causing serious damage.
7 Your machine should never be placed on, near or over a radiator,
heater, air conditioner or ventilation duct.
8 Do not allow anything to rest on the power cable. Do not locate your
machine where the cords will be abused by persons walking on them.
9 Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords. This can diminish
performance, and may result in the risk of fire or electric shock.
10 Do not allow pets to chew on the AC power or PC interface cords.
11 Never push objects of any kind into the machine through case or
cabinet openings. They may touch dangerous voltage points, creating a
risk of fire or shock. Never spill liquid of any kind onto or into the
machine.
12 To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the machine.
Take it to a qualified service technician when repair work is required.
Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or
other risks. Incorrect reassembly could cause electric shock when the
unit is subsequently used.
13 Unplug the machine from the PC and AC wall outlet, and refer servicing
to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
When any part of the power cord, plug, or connecting cable is damaged
or frayed.
If liquid has been spilled into the machine.
If the machine has been exposed to rain or water.
If the machine does not operate properly after instructions have been
followed.
If the machine has been dropped, or the cabinet appears damaged.
If the machine exhibits a sudden and distinct change in performance.
14 Adjust only those controls covered by the operating instructions.
Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage, and may
require extensive work by a qualified service technician to restore the
machine to normal operation.
15 Avoid using this machine during a lightning storm. There may be a
remote risk of electric shock from lightning. If possible, unplug the AC
power for the duration of the lightning storm.
16 If you continuously print multiple pages, the surface of the output tray
may become hot. Be careful not to touch the surface, and keep children
away from the surface.
17 The Power cord supplied with your machine should be used for safe
operation. If you are using a cord which is longer than 2 m with 110 V
machine, then it should be 16 AWG
1
or bigger.
18 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Environmental and Safety Consideration

Regulatory Compliance Statements
Wireless Guidance
Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless
communication devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz/5 GHz Band, may be
present (embedded) in your printer system. The following section is a general
overview of considerations while operating a wireless device.
Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries are listed
in the specific country sections (or country group sections). The wireless
devices in your system are only qualified for use in the countries identified by
the Radio Approval Marks on the system rating label. If the country you will
be using the wireless device in, is not listed, please contact your local Radio
Approval agency for requirements. Wireless devices are closely regulated
and use may not be allowed.
The power output of the wireless device or devices that may be embedded in
your printer is well below the RF exposure limits as known at this time.
Because the wireless devices (which may be embedded into your printer)
emit less energy than is allowed in radio frequency safety standards and
recommendations, manufacturer believes these devices are safe for use.
Regardless of the power levels, care should be taken to minimize human
contact during normal operation.
As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the wireless
device and the body, for use of a wireless device near the body (this does not
include extremities) is typical. This device should be used more than 20 cm
(8 inches) from the body when wireless devices are on and transmitting.
This transmitter must not be collocated or operation in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of
common restrictions are listed below:
Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with
equipment on commercial aircraft. Current aviation
regulations require wireless devices to be turned off while
traveling in an airplane. IEEE 802.11 (also known as wireless
Ethernet) and Bluetooth communication devices are
examples of devices that provide wireless communication.
In environments where the risk of interference to other
devices or services is harmful or perceived as harmful, the
option to use a wireless device may be restricted or
eliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and Oxygen or flammable
gas laden atmospheres are limited examples where use of
wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated. When in
environments where you are uncertain of the sanction to use
wireless devices, ask the applicable authority for
authorization prior to use or turning on the wireless device.
Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless
devices. Since your system is equipped with a wireless
device, when traveling between countries with your system,
check with the local Radio Approval authorities prior to any
move or trip for any restrictions on the use of a wireless
device in the destination country.
If your system came equipped with an internal embedded
wireless device, do not operate the wireless device unless all
covers and shields are in place and the system is fully
assembled.
Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify
them in any way. Modification to a wireless device will void
the authorization to use it. Please contact manufacturer for
service.
Only use drivers approved for the country in which the device
will be used. See the manufacturer System Restoration Kit,
or contact manufacturer Technical Support for additional
information.
Replacing the Fitted Plug (for UK Only)
Important
The mains lead for this machine is fitted with a standard (BS 1363) 13 amp
plug and has a 13 amp fuse. When you change or examine the fuse, you
must re-fit the correct 13 amp fuse. You then need to replace the fuse cover.
If you have lost the fuse cover, do not use the plug until you have another fuse
cover.
Please contact the people from you purchased the machine.
The 13 amp plug is the most widely used type in the UK and should be
suitable. However, some buildings (mainly old ones) do not have normal 13
amp plug sockets. You need to buy a suitable plug adaptor. Do not remove
the moulded plug.
Warning
If you cut off the moulded plug, get rid of it straight away.
You cannot rewire the plug and you may receive an electric shock if you
plug it into a socket.
Important warning: You must earth this machine.
The wires in the mains lead have the following color code:
Green and Yellow: Earth
Blue: Neutral
•Brown: Live
If the wires in the mains lead do not match the colors marked in your plug, do
the following:
You must connect the green and yellow wire to the pin marked by the letter
“E” or by the safety ‘Earth symbol’ or colored green and yellow or green.
You must connect the blue wire to the pin which is marked with the letter “N”
or colored black.
You must connect the brown wire to the pin which is marked with the letter “L”
or colored red.
You must have a 13 amp fuse in the plug, adaptor, or at the distribution board.

mode; the Status LED lights green and

in normal mode.

You can set toner save mode from the printer properties window on your
printer driver. See the Software Section.
